Right-clicking Open Link in New Tab or Window doesn't work
After upgrading to the latest version, 30.0, the right-click functions to Open link in New Tab or New Window stopped working. When I click the link that I would like to open in new tab or window, the right click window appears, I click on the desired function, and the right click window closes and nothing happens.
I restarted in safe mode and the problem remains. I am using Windows XP. I also tried uninstalling Firefox and then doing a clean re-install and that didn't help.
For now I went back to using version 29.0.1. Yes, I know that it isn't as safe but I can't use Version 30. without the right-click options!!!
I really wish the developers would focus on fixing bugs, vulnerabilities, etc. and leave the basic functions alone! The old saying if it isn't broken don't "fix" it!!!!!

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
This didn't fix the problem so I have decided to revert to the previous version: 24.6.0 esr. Maybe when version 31 or 32 come around I come back to the "latest" version?
I'm getting the same problem on 2 different laptops both using the latest FF v32.0.2 and running Win7 64-bit - I right-click the FF icon in the task bar and select Open new window or Open new tab, but nothing happens. SImilarly, if I use the Win7 shortcut of shift-left-click on the FF icon in the task bar, nothing happens, but previously this would always open a new FF window. But when I use shift-left-click on any other icon in the task bar (e.g. Google Chrome or Notepad), a new window opens. Restarting FF in safe mode makes no difference - the problem is still there.
So this bug is evidently down to FF, not Windows.
MOZILLA, PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP!! Thanks.
